Welcome to the Community, @Busiaof2.

 

The Fitbit app needs access to your location in order to work and sync your Fitbit devices. You can change the location settings from your phone by going to Settings > Apps > Fitbit  > Permissions from where you can change the way that the Fitbit app has access to your phone's GPS.

 

Hope this helps.
